Four day weekends are lovely, so three day weekends would definitely be nice. I would actually figure people would end up getting more done in four days than they currently do in five since they would be more rested up and have time to accomplish stuff outside of work.

hey,my anxiety was running my life for a long time. I was never an advocate for medication, but, I take an antidepressant now called Celexa. This medicine has almost cured my anxiety. I never get panic attacks anymore, ever, and the meds do not make me feel any different otherwise. Except my wife says I never get grumpy anymore. Not sure I can buy that but anyway just a thought. Taking meds is not giving up, as I used to think. Use it as a tool and you'll be fine. PM me if you ever want to chat about it, anxiety is hard to cope with.

Not sure how severe your disorder is but after four years of therapy I've found myself to be so much more functional it's ridiculous. Obviously doesn't make your disorder magically disappear but damn, I don't know what I would have done without it...honestly probably would have killed myself long ago.

this is a rare statement these days, sadly. I am a dad though and not to try and rub it in but it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can't imagine life without them, but, I almost knocked up some whore I dated once, so the moral here is I am only a happy father because I have an awesome wife. Just don't go knocking up a whore to become a father.
Good luck to you.

Hmm, I might be guilty of this. Whenever someone says they are trans to me, I am a bit shocked but not appalled. It is just not that common for me and if people never told me, I would not really care. We are all human beings.

As someone who finds your lifestyle extremely bizarre, I'd like you to know that I've never seen you as a lesser human being. You're choices just don't make any sense to me. And I think many people share my feelings.

I don't hate you. I'm not religious. I have no problems with homosexuality. It's not a moral thing. And whether we are in a casual or professional setting I won't treat you with any less respect than any other stranger. You need to understand though that you've made yourself alien. I would probably feel the same way about someone who had a third eye surgically implanted in their forehead.

You can do what you like with your body, but it's naive to think everyone is going to be comfortable with it.

I'd like to point out that being transgender isn't necessarily a choice (much like being gay isn't a choice), although it is a blanket term for many groups of people. So to classify it as a "lifestyle," or a phase someone goes through, or a choice inherently ignores the biological causes for Gender Identity Disorder, which is classified as a medical disorder. Source(s)

All of the terminology gets tricky, mostly because gender is considered a spectrum, but scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that gender identity disorder has biological roots and is not a choice.

I feel like that came off sort of dickish, but that wasn't my intention. I respect people with your attitude, but I just wanted to point out that minor detail.

My point was that modifying your body because you're unhappy with what you see is a choice. And in some cases it may not be targeting the real problem. To think that there isn't a lifestyle attached to making such choices seems ridiculous to me. Also, I feel labeling it as a disorder is more insulting than my stance . I'm willing to accept that that the person is living in their own reality however uneasy it makes me. To me a disorder implies that they are not.

I should note that I didn't come here to argue equal rights. I just wanted to provide LANmine a little insight. Maybe some solace. Not everyone who is uncomfortable with what you present yourself as, is oppressing you.

P.S. You didn't sound like a dick. This was edited many times. Upvote for you. Thanks for making me think.

It's really sad that trans people have to go through so much. My brother was f to m, and two friends of mine are also f to m. It's a lot to deal with, even coming from a family member.

It's also sad that LGBT discrimination is still perfectly acceptable in a lot of places. I'm glad that over the last 5-10 years, there's been more advocacy and education than there was previously (at least in the US, which is even still lagging behind), especially for kids and young adults, where it matters the most.

Im not sure if this would be considered "materialistic" but I really wish I could go to college. I don't want to go to college purely so that I can get a degree and make lots of money, I really enjoy learning. When I was in high school I was pretty much dragged from one "expert" to another, my parents spent all their time trying to figure out why I did so poorly in class. I pretty much spent my high school years as a testing ground for ANY medication that these "experts" told my parents would help me. Eventually I physically could not take any more pills. Truth be told, I loved to learn but hated school. Kids can be cruel, lets just leave it at that. I was put into special education classes ONLY because the so called experts couldn't figure me out. Eventually, because the schools experts couldn't figure me out, the school asked me to leave. I guess that having a student who was failing would harm their funding. I graduated 2 years later (from another school) and have been stuck ever since. I'm not stupid or special I just cant do math.
Edit: I do attend community college, as its pretty cheap. While I have been attending I maintain a 3.0 even if It has been for the last 6 years.

If you feel like you two can work it out and actually be a very long lasting couple and hopefully marry. Then move with her or she moves with you. Other than that, if she is not really the one. Break it off and let both of you move on to find people fitting for you guys and your situations.

That when I finally finish studying and am a practising psychologist, that i'll be really good at what I do. I'm working my ass off now to make sure it happens but if I can look back at my life and know that I've really left the world a better place, there can be no greater gift.

You know what, you should talk to your girlfriend about simply disregarding their blessings and continue on with your wedding. They are not the ones set to be married or will be with you guys in bed or in life at every moment. If you to love each other that much, talk it out and get around it.

I wish that my friend is somehow able to actually live his life, get married and have a family which he wants to do, and not have to force himself to look after his twin brother 24/7 who can't take care of himself, due to certain things.. And that my friend can actually be able to trust someone to give his brother the special care he needs. Even though my friend is 20, I have x1000 respect for what he's doing.

I can, the problem is doing it. Why the fuck does Japan write with Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji?! Just pick one alphabet and stick with! I learned Hiragana, halfway through Katakana.......don't get me started on Kanji. Whoever thought up Kanji needs to be shot. It's pretty much hieroglyphics.

I dont think you are doing it right... I only stink i I do not shower or wash for a day or two. If I am a really lazy asshole then for more. But when I wash down there and roll back and clean. It does not stink after. And for the day actually.

Lol as I read down, it just gets defensive. I mean I understand, but it never becomes a problem, especially with dates. I guess it depends, for me it is pretty rare. Its normal now to just clean. Maybe when you are during puberty I guess.

To be omnipotent. Like, life-suddenly-became-a-lucid-dream sort of omnipotence. And then, to follow that, to be swept up into some kind of elaborate fated story about why, or something. Maybe to find out I'm Jesus.

My college is known for its legendary Halloween party. So I meet up with this girl Molly, her and I have a good time. I meet up with this guy who has been with her as well. he's kind of cute. We start hooking up, turns out he's a virgin and doesn't want to lose it in Molly's presence. So we color in coloring books for the rest of the night.

That someone would ask me what my dearest wish was. It came true, oddly enough :D

I was depressed and everything, and I just wished someone would ask me what I wanted for once. Out of the blue, a friend chats me up with deep, soul-searching questions like the one above. Kinda cheesy, I know, but it made my day. It's nice to have someone want to know you and your dreams :D

For everyone to stop caring so much about what others do. From the people protesting at abortion clinics to the Nickelback haters. Everyone is entitled to make their own decisions and harbor their own opinions and I just fail to see a reason why others seem to care so much about what another human being does.

To not have any respiratory issues anymore. No more inhalers! No more not doing things/ going places because I know they could possibly trigger an attack! No more being afraid of going in my yard on a nice day because my neighbors could start smoking (causing all sorts of badness for me)!!
